Straßeninfrastruktur
Öffentlicher Nahverkehr
6.2/10Good coverage in Bangkok with BTS Skytrain (3 lines), MRT (4 lines), Airport Rail Link, and SRT Red Lines totaling 242 km operational plus 105 km under construction. Buses serve nationwide but face congestion; regional trains are basic with double-tracking upgrades. Limited integration and poor coverage outside Bangkok place it at average level.
Straßeninfrastruktur
6.8/10Extensive highway network over 700,000 km total roads, mostly in good repair with four-lane highways featuring medians and pedestrian crossings. Motorways expanding to 6,877 km planned; urban Bangkok congested but expressways help. Maintenance solid in key areas, safety features adequate but traffic management needs modernization.
Internetgeschwindigkeit
7.1/10Solid broadband with average fixed speeds around 210 Mbps in 2025, driven by fiber expansion in urban areas including Bangkok and EEC. Mobile speeds exceed 100 Mbps. Rural-urban gap exists but investments closing it via 5G and fiber rollout.
Avg: 210+ Mbps • Widespread in Bangkok and major cities (60%+ households), expanding to suburbs and EEC; limited in rural north/east but growing via government plans
Flughafenanbindung
7.8/10Strong network of 118 airports including 43 major ones; Suvarnabhumi (BKK) and Don Mueang (DMK) as key international hubs with global routes. U-Tapao emerging in EEC. Excellent domestic coverage connecting islands and regions; high-speed rail links planned to airports.
Hubs: Suvarnabhumi (BKK), Don Mueang (DMK), Phuket (HKT), Chiang Mai (CNX), U-Tapao (UTP)
